Description
San Bruno City Council Meeting January 11, 2011
10b. City Council Donations Subcommittee Report
B
B
I
would.
I
would
call
to
the
council's
in
the
public's
attention
the
fact
that
the
city
was
the
recipient
of
a
large
number
of
donations,
some
very
small,
some
very
large
over
the
last
several
months.
Since
sep
tember
ninth,
we
appreciate
as
I
believe
the
residents
of
our
community
appreciate
the
generosity
and
the
compassion
that
those
donations
represent
and
the
desire
of
persons
literally
all
over
the
world
to
assist
in
the
community
and
the
individual
family
recovery.
From
this
terrible
and
tragic
event
that
has
impacted
san
bruno
in
the
Glen
View
neighborhood
in
particular.
B
As
a
memorandum
points
out,
City,
regardless
of
how
funds
are
received,
has
a
fiduciary
responsibility
both
to
the
individuals
and
the
organisations
who
provided
the
contributions,
as
well
as
to
the
community
to
take
a
deliberative
and
responsible
approach
to
evaluating
how
those
funds
should
be
utilized.
As
I
mentioned,
the
mayor
appointed
a
subcommittee
of
the
City
Council,
and
that
subcommittee
has
conducted
a
public
meeting
which
was
very
well
attended.
B
I
estimated
at
least
75
persons
attended
that
meeting
and
participated
very
actively
in
a
discussion
that
occurred
over
approximately
in
an
hour
and
a
half
time
frame.
We
recorded
comments
that
were
received
in
person
on
flip
charts
and
we've
transcribed
those
and
attach
those
to
the
memo
you
have
in
front
of
you.
We
also
solicited,
or
rather
the
subcommittee
solicited
comments
from
attendant
attendees
at
the
meeting
that
we're
submitted.
In
writing.
B
We
have
transcribed
each
of
those
comments
as
well,
and
it
goes
on,
as
you
see
in
your
material
in
front
of
you
for
several
pages.
I
think
that
the
input
from
the
audience
can
be
very
simply
summarized,
and
that
is
that
the
overwhelming
majority
of
individuals
attending
this
meeting
and
voicing
their
comments
supported
a
expedient
distribution
of
the
funds
to
the
residents
of
the
Glen
V
neighborhood,
particularly
those
who
have
been
most
directly
and
devastatingly
impacted
by
the
by
the
explosion
in
the
fire.
B
The
recommendation
that
the
subcommittee
committed
to
producing
for
you
tonight
is
in
front
of
you
I'm,
going
to
stop
in
just
a
moment
and
allow
the
subcommittee
members
to
detail
the
D
to
provide
the
details
of
the
recommendation
in
front
of
you
tonight.
I
would
just
say
that
the
City
Council,
as
we
have
on
several
occasions,
informed
the
public
generally
has
the
authority
among
the
five
of
you
to
determine
what
is
the
process
and
the
policy
to
be
used
in
you
know
to
distribute
or
utilize
these
funds.
B
The
fact
that
you
have
a
recommendation
in
front
of
you
is
the
essentially
nothing
more
than
a
recommendation,
and
the
start
for
for
you
to
determine
how
you,
as
the
entire
city
council,
wish
to
proceed.
I
can
assure
you
that
the
subcommittee
has
done
a
very
deliberate
and
thorough
job
of
evaluating
both
the
community
input
and
interests,
as
well
as
a
variety
of
other
issues
associated
with
what
is
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
how
best
to
do
it.
B
C
We
both
like
to
share
some
of
our
thoughts
and
on
the
process
and
and
then
go
into
the
details
of
what
we're
proposing
in
opening
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
gratitude
to
the
members
of
the
public
that
attended
the
meeting
and
those
that
have
provided
their
input
via
email
or
phone
calls
to.
Let
us
know
what
what
they
feel
are
the
the
best
uses
of
the
money,
I.
C
Also
wanted
to
offer
my
personal
apology
to
anyone
who
feels
that
our
delay
and
getting
this
out
may
have
caused
them
undue
hardship.
It
certainly
wasn't
our
intent,
I
mentioned
during
that
meeting,
that
the
the
purpose
of
the
city,
our
mission,
is
to
serve
the
public,
and
that's
certainly
something
that
we
we
try
to
do
to
the
best
of
our
ability
and
if
we
failed
in
that,
I
certainly
am
sorry
for
that.
C
As
a
the
city
manager
mentioned,
the
the
message
came
through
loud
and
clear
was
that
there
is
a
need
for
financial
assistance
in
the
area,
and
we
heard
it
a
lot
of
different
ways,
and
certainly
that
is
what
Irene
and
I
went
back
when
we
had
our
discussion.
That
it
was
certainly
are.
Our
mission
was
to
address
that
that
one
issue
we
acknowledge
that
it
is
our
responsibility
to
do
what
we
feel
is
the
best
solution
for
the
city
and
even
after
getting
all
that
input.
Our
job
I,
don't
think
was
any
easier
they're.
C
D
Thank
you
again.
I
also
like
to
thank
everyone
who
participated,
and
I
particularly
like
to
thank
the
people
who
were
in
the
minority.
It's
not
easy
to
stand
up
in
front
of
a
group
and
say
your
opinion
about
something
that
you
know
may
not
be
what
the
rest
of
the
people
are
excited
about.
So
there's
a
little
saying:
I
keep
telling
myself
because
I,
sometimes
them
in
that
it
says.
Let
me
speak
out
even
if
my
voice
shakes
so
I
hope.
We
all
remember
that
and
I
hope
the
people
who
are
in
the
minority.
D
Also
our
gracious
enough
to
listen
to
the
others.
It
was
a
vigorous,
I'm,
exciting,
actually,
discussion
between
the
people
who
came
to
the
meeting
and
then
between
Michael
and
myself.
Afterwards,
we
even
even
as
we
came
from
two
different
sides
and
had
our
work
to
work
our
way
to
the
middle
to
what
we're
bringing
forward
tonight
before
we
go
on
now
and
I
know,
people
are
taking
notes,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
we
add
this
there's
a
provision
in
there
about
putting
aside
a
certain
amount
of
money.
D
C
Okay,
so
the
recommendation
that
we're
bringing
tonight
to
the
council
is
that
we
establish
three
categories.
The
first
category
would
include
the
38
properties
that
were
completely
destroyed
and
demolished.
The
second
category
would
include
17
properties,
which
sustained
moderate
damage
and,
finally,
45
properties,
which
sustained
some
minor
damage.
C
Some
resolution
to
the
use
of
that
fund
within
six
months
so
that
the
it
doesn't
get
delayed
any
more
than
necessary,
there's
also
a
provision
in
the
in
the
staff
report.
That
includes
an
option
to
to
opt
out.
If
someone
feels
that
they
do
not
need
the
funds,
then
that
money
would
come
back
and
become
part
of
the
pool
again.
D
Okay,
so
the
other
pieces
that
we
have
down
there,
it's
we
felt
that
if
only
residents
recited
in
the
property
at
the
time
of
the
fire,
the
res
the
renter's
should
receive
the
monies.
If
the
property
owner
resided
in
the
property
and
also
had
renters,
the
property
owner
would
be
expected
to
share
the
disbursement
with
the
renters
and
the
disbursement
would
be
limited
time
offer.
E
Was
I
was
telling
councilmember
medina
that
was
very
cautious
and
when
I
was
reading
this-
and
I
was
very
pleasantly
surprised
that
you
did
come
up
with
a
good
for
us
but
appears
to
be
a
good
formula.
My
first
concern
is
that
there's
38
properties.
We
know
that
were
destroyed
as
a
result
of
the
fire,
but
we
also
know
that
there
are
we've
approved
three
more
homes
to
be
demolished,
so.
C
E
And
let
me
just
and
does
that
incorporate
everyone
that
is
that
a
realistic
number
as
far
as
what
who's
been
affected
out
there
I
know
there
are
residents
that
are
still
displaced
and
they
may
be
displaced
out
of
their
home,
but
may
be
classified
as
minor
damage.
Something
there's
been
some
confusion
about,
yellow
tag
and
that
homes
with
yellow
tags
have
yellow
tags,
but
then
there
are
still
homes
that
have
green
tags
where
families
are
displaced,
so
I
just
want
to
know.
D
You
want
me,
we
understand
the
confusion.
We
had
originally
talked
about
the
red
tag,
yellow
tag
and
light
green
tag,
but
that's
the
definition
of
those
have
been
shifted
around
a
bit,
but
the
this
is
a
total
of
a
hundred
families
and
it
reflects,
as
far
as
we
know,
everyone
who's
been
affected
to
any
degree.
That
was
one
of
the
reasons
Michael
and
I
struggled
with
putting
aside
money,
because
if
we
miss
somebody
who
is
more
impacted
than
their
the
former
tags
indicated,
they
would
have
some.
D
You
know
we
would
have
resourced
recourse
to
some
money
so
that
they
could
petition
to
say
whatever
they
need
to
say.
You
know
they
need
X
amount
more
or
there
was
more
people
in
their
home
or
their
home
was
more
damage
than
haven't
even
thought
or
any
of
those
kinds
of
things.
So
that's
why
we
wanted
to
put
some
money
aside.
F
Through
the
chair
I'm,
going
to
ask
a
comment,
a
question
because
I
want
to
hear
from
the
residents
they're
here.
First
I
was
asked
by
someone
as
to
why
I
wasn't
there
on
January
fifth
and
just
as
a
follow-up,
a
sub
committees
to
members
of
the
council,
which
precludes
the
other
three
from
being
there
that
evening.
So
I
just
wanted
that,
since
somebody
asked
me
as
to
why
I
didn't
show
up
that
evening.
F
The
second
thing
was
there
was
some
discussion
early
on
and
through
the
process
of
having
some
residents
appointed
so
to
the
subcommittee
to
review
the
process
and
come
up
with
a
recommendation.
Was
that
something
that
was
done
going
to
be?
Or
that
was
one
question
that
I
did
have
before
I'd
like
to
hear
from
the
public.
Do.
C
In
terms
of
what
we're
proposing
tonight,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
address
the
immediate
need
first,
and
so
that's
what
we're
bringing
here
I,
we
didn't
go
into
detail
in
in
terms
of
how
the
the
remaining
funds
would
be
distributed.
But
I
don't
know
if
Irene
agree
agrees
with
me,
but
I
think
the
idea
there
was
that
we
would
have
a
committee
that
included
residents
that
would
be
responsible
for
making
that
determination.
D
That's
her
yes,
I
know.
Originally
we
had
thought
of
a
subcommittee,
I
mean
I'm
residents,
Advisory
Committee,
but
I
wanted
and
michael
and
I
agreed
that
we
wanted
to
hear
from
the
residents
first
before
we
set
up
an
elaborate
committee
to
do
things
that
may
not
be
necessary.
So
since
we
heard
loud
and
clear
from
the
people
that
were
at
the
meeting
on
the
fifth
that
it
would
be
easiest
to
disperse
the
money
and
let
them
decide
what
to
do
with
it
that
that's
what
we
decided.
D
That's
why
our
recommendation
is
structure
the
way
it
is
so
they
set
aside
money,
the
58,000
plus.
We
would
be
looking
for
input
either
from
to
form
another
like
a
subcommittee,
the
advisory
people
and
go
from
there.
We
haven't
set
that
up
yet
but,
as
we
said,
we're
committed
to
have
it
either
the
money
all
spent
are
committed
by
the
end
of
six
months
and.
F
I
would
assume
the
58,000,
if
approved,
would
also
enables
the
unique
circumstances
that
maybe
aren't
outlined
in
here
thoroughly
and
obviously
there's
a
lot
of
situations
that
occurred,
that
we're
all
learning
about
or
may
not
fully
know
about,
and
there's
privacy
of
folks
that
are
affected.
So
that
would
be
something
that
could
be
utilized
for
those
situations
that
arise
that
we
haven't
thought
of
her
aren't
black
and
white
that
are
here.
Yes,
lon
the
gray
area.
Yes,.
A
Anything
else
well,
first
of
all,
I
would
like
to
thank
everyone
and,
as
the
city
manager
said,
people
from
around
the
world
who
donated
to
this
to
this
effort.
This
is
truly
incredible
to
the
residents
for
your
input
and
your
understanding
and
to
the
subcommittee
for
doing
a
great
job,
a
very,
very
tough
job,
because
we
know
that
not
everyone's
going
to
be
happy
with
this,
but
that's
just
what
we
have
to
do
not
always
happy
with
our
decisions
anyway.
A
This
is
only
one
of
many
things
we
have
have
had
to
contend
with
and
will
have
to
contend
with
going
down
the
road,
the
issue
for
me,
the
distribution
of
the
money
and
I
struggled
over
it
myself
was:
do
you
base
it
on
need
or
do
you
base
it
on
impact?
And
we
have
all
seen
in
the
last
four
months
plus
the
needs
change.
A
Everybody
has
their
own
story,
everybody
everybody
got
over
the
initial
shock,
fairly
quick,
but
then
you
get
down
to
the
individuals
and
everybody
has
a
different
story,
so
somebody
might
need
the
money.
Somebody
might
need
it
more
than
others
and
others
have
told
me.
That's
fine.
I'm
just
going
to
put
it
back
in
the
kitty
for
others
that
might
need
it.
I
don't
want
it
at
all,
so
I
think
they've
made
a
very
deceptive
long
with
the
residence
of
have
made
a
very
good
contribution
to
to
the
way
we're
going
to
disperse
these
funds.
A
A
E
E
E
You'd
have
to
be
in
your
position
to
really
know
what
you've
been
through
and
I.
Don't
even
claim
to
know
you
know
what
you've
been
through
and
I
just
have
to
say
that
someone
that
didn't
lose
her
home,
the
Rue
home,
is
actually
being
repaired,
but
he's
in
a
hospital
getting
a
transplant.
So
what
more
can
happen
to
a
family?
You
know
after
this
tragedy,
but
life
goes
on
and
I
think
6,000
is
not
going
to
help
any.
E
You
know
not
help
repair
your
home,
but
it's
going
to
help
something
and
that's
all
what
we
can
do.
65
thousand
whatever
you've
lost
everything,
some
of
you
and
I
our
hearts
go
out
to
and
we'll
be
there
for
you
as
time
goes
on,
so
I
just
feel
that
this
is
a
good
step.
It's
just
not
a
lot
of
money.
You've
got
it's
it's
a
nice
step
in
and
help
the
recovery
and
we're
here
to
see
that
your
lives
do
get
repaired
to
to
some
extent.
G
I
actually
had
a
suggestion,
as
somebody
who
grew
up
in
the
neighborhood
and
seen
the
severity
of
the
area.
Why
not
start
like
a
little
fund
for
the
people
in
the
hospital
that
may
have
trouble
paying
their
bill
medical
bills,
or
something
like
that?
You
know
you
mentioned.
There
would
be
something
like
50,000
left
over.
That
might
be
a
good
thing
to
put
torts
for
the
people
like
that
and.
A
E
H
Good
evening
my
name
is
Roxanne
Adamas
and
I've
been
assisting
the
Alvarado
family
throughout
this
process,
and
one
thing
I'd
like
to
point
out
is
that
language
access
has
been
an
issue
with
some
of
the
materials
out
there.
I've
been
I
have
staff
that
works
with
me
and
translate
some
materials
to
Spanish,
but
I'm,
assuming
there
may
be
other
people
out
there
with
other
language
needs
and
I'd
like
to
make
sure
to
point
that
out
not
only
for
this
process
for
them
to
understand.
It's
really
critical
to
see
it
in
writing.
H
I
can
talk
to
them
while
I
want,
but
I
know
the
family
wants
to
understand
what
these
points
may
be.
So
if
that's
a
possibility,
I'd
like
to
encourage
that,
and
also
just
to
be
very
careful
and
hoping
to
explain
and
express
a
more
in
detail
what
those
58
thousand
dollars
would
look.
You
know
what
what
is
an
emergency
need?
How
do
we
identify
that
and
I
know?
The
subcommittee
will
do
that,
but
I
think
it's
critical
to
be
able
to
have
a
really
good
outline
and
having
information
out
there.
So
that's
my
point
and.
A
I
My
name
is
Christy
brush
and
I.
Have
two
comments
I'd
like
to
make
the
first
one
is
I
do
understand
that
there
are
people
who
have
had
significant
injuries
or
deaths,
who
have
not
had
major
or
even
moderate
property
damage
and
I.
Don't
know
that
that's
taken
into
consideration
with
this,
but
if
some
consideration
is
given
to
funds
for
people
who
have
suffered
medical
injuries,
not
all
of
them
will
have
the
capacity
to
receive
the
funds.
A
Right,
thank
you,
and
those
are
the
kind
of
things
we
want
to
hear.
So
we
can,
we
can
address
in
the
future
and
if
you
have
any
specifics
on
that,
Tami
Yuki
is
here:
she's
our
HR
director
and
she
kind
of
coordinates
with
the
city
in
the
neighborhood
and
you're
welcome
to
talk
to
rafter
and
give
her
any
specifics.
Okay,
thank
you
to
the
city
manager
in
the
city
attorney.
What
is
the
fastest
way
that
we
can
write
a
check.
B
What
I
would
suggest
to
you
is
that
there
are
a
number
of
items
that
we
want
to
troubleshoot
and
make
sure
that
we
have
adequately
covered
the
residents
with
a
explanatory
letter
to
accompany
the
check
to
confirm,
for
example,
that
the
funds
are
given
without
any
strings.
If
you
will,
you
know,
you
know,
you
know
specific
expectations
about
what
it's
to
be
used
for,
that
it's
intended
for
disaster
to
address
the
impacts
of
the
disaster
that
have
been
experienced
by
the
by
the
residents.
B
At
this
point,
we're
looking
at
a
couple
of
different
options
about
what
would
be
the
best
way
physically
to
distribute
the
money.
Obviously,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
person
we're
handing
the
check
to
is
actually
the
right
person
that
that
person
has.
A
comment
was
duly
noted
about
representatives
who
have
an
official
relationship
with
a
particular
individual
or
family
who's
entitled
to
the
funds,
but
we
are
currently
evaluating
at
this
point.
B
Obviously,
that
will
not
work
for
everybody,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
make
those
arrangements
with
individuals
for
whom
that
is
not
possible
and
I
would
say
those
logistic
considerations
aside:
we're
prepared
to
move
ahead
as
quickly
as
possible.
We
can
that
we
have
the
records
that
identify
who
are
the
property
owners.
B
We
do
anticipate
that
there
are
a
variety
of
contingency
situations
that
we
may
have
to
troubleshoot
one-on-one
with
some
of
the
affected
parties,
but
we
believe
that
we
have
accurate
information
that
will
allow
us
to
at
least
make
initial
contact
with
the
affected
parties
them
to
move
through
those
issues.
Expediently.
A
F
Mr.
Medina
I
was
going
to
say
also
I'm
sure
the
subcommittee
not
being
there,
but
can
only
tell
you
that
I'm
sure
it
was
a
daunting
task
that
you
had
which
to
come
together
and
try
to
form
something
to
bring
back
to
us
this
evening.
I
also
again,
as
others
have
said,
thank
the
residents.
This
is
one
thing
that
no
one
a
year
ago,
whatever
ever
suspected
or
thought
or
even
could
have
imagined,
could
happen
to
this
community
or
any
community
and
in
a
disaster
in
a
situation
as
such
I
think.
F
Truly,
it
tests
the
leadership
of
a
town,
the
ability
of
the
staff,
the
courage
of
its
residents
and
the
result
of
a
community,
and
even
with
all
that
happened
in
this
defining
moment
for
the
city,
I
think
we
did
extremely
well
and
I
think
we
all
can
be
proud
of
ourselves.
We
can
be
proud
of
this
community
and
we
can
proud
be
proud.
Sanburne
was
our
home,
so
I
want
to
thank
everybody
here
tonight.
Those
are
showed
up,
January,
fifth
and
everyone
who
is
supported
and
helped
in
any
way
they
have
throughout
this
whole
crisis.
J
Mr.
mayor
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
your
motion
tonight,
because
the
process
we're
going
to
employ
tonight
is
to
rely
on
your
motion
to
implement
as
quickly
as
possible
so
that
before
your
next
meeting,
we
can
actually
be
well
underway
in
this
process
and
then
we're
going
to
bring
back
the
resolution
that
will
formalize
what.
J
But
your
motion
was
and
incorporate
the
memorandum
that
you
have
tonight
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
your
motion
tonight
include
some
of
the
changes
you
discussed,
such
as
the
six
months
and
make
sure
that
and
the
thought
there'll
be
a
committee
that
will
be
formed
to
review
it.
That
way,
we
can
incorporate
those
things
in
the
resolution
that
you'll
see
next
time,
but
we
can
make
sure
that
we
have
staff.
Has
the
authority
to
move
forward
with
your
direction.
E
C
So
I
then,
would
like
to
introduce
or
actually
make
a
motion
to
accept
the
recommendation
from
the
subcommittee
with
the
proposed
changes,
including
that
we
would
give
ourselves
a
six-month
window
to
complete
the
process
and
that
would
be
pending
the
formal
proclamation
that
are
following.
Maybe
the.
